Now that the unusually timed maintenance period is over, Sony has released the v1.17 update for GT Sport.

As with last week’s v1.16 update — albeit eventually — it’s only a small patch, weighing in at 289.1MB.

The primary function, as you may know, is to bring the Audi Vision GT to the game. Audi revealed this car as a live, working vehicle in an event in Germany at the same time as Polyphony Digital revealed the virtual version. Unexpectedly, the update adds two versions of the car: an electric e-tron just like the real car; and a hybrid model.

Both vehicles will become available to purchase in the Vision GT section of Audi’s page in Brand Central. The electric car is a Gr.X model, like most Vision GTs, while the hybrid fits into Gr.1. This puts it up against cars like the Porsche 919 Hybrid and Toyota TS050. Both will set you back a cool 1,000,000cr.

The journey begins: The first all-electric Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo concept car as race taxi at the ABB Formula E E-Prix in Rome on April 14. See you there?#Audi #VisionGT #etron #LeagueofPerformance #GTSport
